Two fish traders were killed and five others injured when a pickup truck carrying fishes overturned on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Expressway in Munshiganj’s Sreenagar.
The incident took place at around 1:30pm when the vehicle lost control opposite the Hashara highway outpost on the Dhaka-bound lane, collided with the road divider, and overturned, according to the locals and police at the scene.
One of the deceased was identified as Bahadur Bepari, 45, and the other could not be identified immediately.
“Seven people were brought in critical condition, out of which two succumbed to their injuries,” said Dr Aklima Roushan, a doctor on duty at the emergency department of Sreenagar Health Complex.
Preparations are underway to take the injured to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for further treatment, she added.
Kanchan Kumar Singh, in charge of the Hashara Highway Police, confirmed the incident and said, “Two have died, and five have been injured in the accident. They were fish traders heading to Dhaka from Mawa.”
